Sydney Cricket Ground, in a scaled-back, Covid-safe event.To be held on Saturday 6 March, capacity for the event will be limited to 23,000 tickets – about half of the ground’s capacity – with organisers charging $20 for admission.Albert Kruger, Mardi Gras chief executive, said the event will “move away from large floats, centring instead on the outlandish pageantry of costumes, puppetry and props that make it such a phenomenon to witness”.“It was important to Mardi Gras that we rise to the occasion and to give the community the creative platform to express their pride to the world.
The 2021 parade may look different to how it has been in the past, but we feel very lucky to be able to give this opportunity to our communities during these.
